Publisher Description
A new and highly anticipated Inspector Lynley TV series releasing this fall from BritBox
Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers and Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley are back in the next Lynley novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George.
Michael Lobb has just been found dead on the floor of his family’s tin & pewter workshop. It’s suspicious enough that his body was found by a representative of Cornwall EcoMining, a company keen on acquiring his family’s land, and it’s made even worse when he’s revealed to have been the majority owner of the business and the sole obstacle preventing a deal from being made. But it doesn’t take long for Inspector Beatrice Hannaford to unearth the layers of estrangement that surrounded Michael in his final days, pointing suspicions elsewhere. In comes Kayla, a young woman half Michael’s age, who has just been made his widow.
Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers are brought in to help solve the crime and search for justice in a community where lust, greed, and family traditions collide with devastating consequences.
Customer Reviews
A simply dying cause
I so enjoy spending time with Lynley and Havors and your delightful way of telling a story...I have read all your books....and look forward to spending time with my "friends" soon...you are one of m favorites...thank you.
Too much fluff
Dull, dull, dull. Not enough plot twists, and this book drags along where it is very repetitive. It was agonizing to read because it took forever in a day to get to the punch line without building momentum.
It grew on me as I read…
It took me a while to warm up to this book, because it reads different from Elizabeth George’s other books. But it grew on me, and in the process her voice became clearer, closer to what I remembered. I truly enjoyed it, and hope there will be others.
